I don't know who started it.
Maybe Shania?
But country stopped being country a long time ago.
Never even really liked the 90's stuff.
Country to us was Willie, Waylon, Hank Jr., etc.
I can't imagine "Good Hearted Woman" making the grade in today's country.

Easily one of the most overrated bands of their era. I really like "Runaway" for some reason, but outside of that, their catelog is among the most overrated and over-played of any classic rock act. They're in the same category as Foreigner, Bad Company, and Journey in that respect.
Sometimes the lack of musical knowledge on this board astounds me. Not in a trivia type way, rather in a "I honestly have no idea what it takes to perform/produce music" type of way.
I can understand when someone says, "I simply didn't enjoy the music personally"......but when you start making these broad sweeping accusations against some of the most talented musicians in the history of modern rock, I just have to shake my head.

Is Jamey Johnson releasing an album anytime soon?

I've always loved that song. It's by far his best, IMO.
I like Wanted Dead Or Alive also.
And maybe In And Out Of Love, depending on my mood.
Other than that, I really, really don't dig them at all.

I don't know either but Shania and her Def Lep lite sounding crap sure didn't help matter. Great to look at but not listen to.
Maybe some blame lies with Louisiana's own Trace Adkins. Flipping through some channels this weekend and one of his songs was on. A lot of the bro country requirements were in the song.

Toby Keith should be considered in helping bro country come about. His old shite was good though

It's written,recorded and marketed, in a formula,and as long as the formula still gets airplay and sells,it's not going to change.
At that time,they will find the next big thing,and then run that into the ground too.

modern radio country is EDM beats with a fiddle mixed in with bad white guy hip hop with a twang.
it's a mix of all that is terrible with this world.

There was a transition period between the era of Willie, Waylon, Haggard, Twitty, Jones, etc that was still good music but just more mainstream.
That era of the 80s and early 90s when Randy Travis, Clint Black, George Strait, Dwight Youkam, Garth Brooks, etc were the most popular artists.
The transition from that era to now is much worse than the transition from the above two eras. Everything considered mainstream now uses the same template. Not a lot of depth put into the context of Nashville songs these days because they have figured out that Americans have grown more simple minded as the years go by. People who really like Bro country music just want a catchy beat to dance or shake their head to and sing along with a catchy chorus. Simple. America has no shortage of simple minded people.

Rock is dead for the most part these days on a wide popularity scale.

I like that song "baby you a sooooong you make me wanna roll my windows down... And cruise!" Nelly goes hard at the end.
I like that song "chillen on a dirt road, laid back listening to some George Jones, smoke rolling out the window, an ice cold beer sitting in the console"
And I like some Sugarland.
So I'd say at least some of it is good.

It is people trying to make up country shite to sing about. Its terrible.
Posted on 5/17/16 at 1:40 pm to kingbob
kingbob summed it up perfectly for me.
HOWEVER, some of those songs are a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't own an FGL album, but admittedly I like their songs. The music is twangy pop though, it isn't country.
"Wagon Wheel" by Darius Rucker is pretty good too. But overall I agree, Nashville is total crap these days.

Thats' why I'm thankful for Willie's Roadhouse on satellite radio.

Pop stylings had infiltrated country before - look at the catalog of Kenny Rogers - there is some very pop-sounding songs in there. Even Alabama to an extent brought in pop or at least rock influence to country that built on Hank Jr. and Charlie Daniels working with Skynyrd and other southern rock bands.
Travis Tritt was the first of the 90s acts to really bring in the rock side of it. Billy Ray was very pop sounding. Could've Been Me could easily have been an early 90s pop hit. Shania helped, because with Mutt she brought the pop/rock "formula" to country.
The final nails in the coffin were the move of "pop" music in the direction of EDM and hip hop. Artists that were or would have been pop/rock acts (Darius Rucker, Sheryl Crow) moved to country because that was the only place to get their music played on the radio. And another side effect of that shift in pop trend was that the young country song writers were growing up listening to hip hop and other crap and not as much rock or country. So when they start playing and writing, they take what they know, and it becomes this country-pop-bro-country crap.
